This Act prevents unreasonable deductibles, copayments or coinsurance charges for chiropractic care. Some managed care providers have arbitrarily classified chiropractors as “specialists” in order to charge copayments and deductibles that are in excess of those charged for primary care medical doctors. This Act establishes that the maximum amount of any deductible, copayment of coinsurance charge for chiropractic care shall be the lesser of either: (i) the deductible or copayment for a primary care physician or 15% of the fee due to be paid to the chiropractic under the insurance policy for the treatment provider.

An Act To Amend 24 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Board Of Chiropractic.
